LITERATURE REVIEW
The purpose of this study was to recognize the categories of parent involvement that
parents’ consider being the most effective in students’ academic achievement in 6th grade
middle school in Palm Beach County, Florida.
The literature review focused on parent involvement in school and at home. Parents,
students and teachers’ expectations. Many reasons for the lack of parent involvement
were addressed in each article. Finally, Is it important for parents to be involved and how
can teachers, administrators and parents collaborate to increase parent involvement for
the success of the student academic achievement? Parental involvement has many …show more content…
Lastly, the author states no specific hypothesis, rather their goal
was to examine the effects of what types of parental involvement work best with junior
high school students.
From the beginning of time, parents have nurtured their children, modeled for their
children, and educated their children. It has been stated that parents are the child’s first

Researchers found that different types of parental involvement show better increases

involvement works best.
Researchers found that there are many limitations like too small of a sample used in
one school and one class, not a good representation of diverse populations, parents’ may

The studies concluded with the need for good parent teacher communication in
fostering a relationship to increase parental involvement at school and at home for
success in academics for all students.
This is why there is so much research being investigated on for this topic, and so
